      Hi,

      Are the coloured chassis sets easy to install.. is there any soldering required?

      I dunno how to get my PCB board out of chassis or anything.. So is it easy to install or what? cos im ready to buy a blue one 🙂

      hehehehehe

      also are they better that stock ones in terms of durability? or are they just for looks?

      Wouldn’t you have to solder the lines to the switch in order to run the car?

      The switch can be removed from the chassis and the wires that connect to it are not soldered to the battery contacts, they are held against them using a plastic ‘plate’ that is screwed into place.

      I haven’t tried either, I’ve heard that the kyosho is the best out there, but is the best worth the extra? I don’t know. If possible find out from someone who has had experience with both, it’s easy to find people who will reccomend one product over the other without having tried both (heck I just did that 🙂 try to get impartial advice.
